Chapter 384: Loyalty

"What the Prime Minister means is that Bai Su is the daughter of a criminal minister and should be punished, and the child of the king is also the son of Bai Su, should he also be punished, and the king is the father of the child, should he also be punished, then according to the will of the prime minister, should His Majesty also be punished!"

As soon as Chu Heng's words came out, they shocked the four seats, and Murong Zhi's cold sweat came down in a flash, and Murong Zhi quickly knelt down and showed his loyalty to the emperor.

"The old minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal, but he is worried that the daughter of the criminal minister will be detrimental to the health of the society, which is definitely not what King Heng said."

The emperor who was seated did not speak, and Chu Hengyu spoke again.

"I don't have this intention, but this king remembers that the prime minister shouted at the beginning to cure the king's crimes, and this king has not said anything about the relationship between this king and Bai Su. You are clamoring to punish the nine clans of this king, it seems that you have long had this intention and are disrespectful to Your Majesty. ”

"I just don't know, if this king is really punished by the nine clans today, does the prime minister have other plans for my Yuan Chu?"

Murong Zhi was in a cold sweat when he said this, and he made a mistake and hated him for thousands of years, he wanted to get rid of King Heng's big trouble in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect to be too eager to attack, but he was caught in the handle, I am afraid that even if King Heng receives a heavy responsibility this time, his trust in the emperor will be greatly lost, which is really a momentary mistake.

"The old minister doesn't dare, the emperor, and please believe in the old minister, the old minister has been loyal for several years, and has worked hard for Yuan Chu, dedicated to the country, and hopes that the emperor will be clear!"

The emperor was already dissatisfied with Murong Zhi in his heart, but for many reasons, he could only endure it for the time being.

"Prime Minister Murong, get up, I understand your thoughts, and I will not hold you accountable for your inappropriate words."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After this trouble, Murong Zhi had no choice but to retreat honestly and did not dare to express his opinion anymore.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to pardon Bai Su and the child for the sake of the face of the courtiers and the royal bloodline."

Chu Hengyu knelt in front of the emperor and pleaded sincerely.

Looking at his younger brother kneeling in front of him, the emperor was full of emotion for a while. This is his only brother, he grew up by his side since he was a child, and he is a brother in addition to the monarch and minister, so he is usually not too strict with him to bow down, and today for Bai Su and the two children, he actually knelt in front of him, so that people are not moved.

Back then, because General Bai was only, there was already a rift between their brothers, not to mention, no matter what, those two children were royal blood after all, how could they be implicated, they were old, but they hoped that there would be more excitement around them, and Bai Su was just a flower planter, and it would not hurt to leave her alive.

The emperor pondered in his heart before finally speaking.

"Bai Su is the daughter of a criminal minister, but she has not done evil in one of her daughters, and she has extended the bloodline for the royal family, I hereby declare that I will pardon the sins of Bai Su and his children, and allow the two children to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and King Heng and Bai Su will marry one day."

"But after all, King Heng harbored fugitives and had to be punished, so he ordered King Heng Chu Hengyu to hand over the general military power in his hand and fine him for one year as a warning."

The emperor is the respect of the Ninety-Five, although there is brotherhood in his heart, but it is more about the dignity of the emperor, Chu Hengyu's private hiding of Bai Su is equivalent to directly slapping the emperor's face, and he has to be punished, this punishment is to announce to everyone that the law is not merciful, even if you are the emperor's only younger brother, you can take the opportunity to take back half of the military power, and you can feel more at ease in your heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Hengyu thanked the Holy Grace, and his heart fell to the ground. He doesn't care about military power and money, as long as he can keep Bai Su, even if he wants all his military power, he will give it with both hands.

"If there is nothing to do, retreat from the court, King Heng, you stay, I have something to say to you."

For a while, the civil and military officials were dispersed, and Murong Zhi glanced at Chu Hengyu resentfully before leaving, and then left. After a short time, only the emperor and Chu Hengyu brothers were left in the huge Jinluan Palace.

"Do you really want to marry that Bai Su?"

"Back to Your Majesty, naturally."

"At this time, there are only you and my brothers, why should you be so angry."

The emperor couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Chu Hengyu's detached look, he still looked like a monarch and a minister who were alienated from each other, and he was afraid that he was still haunted by the time and today.

"There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the ministers and brothers dare not go beyond it."

Chu Hengyu still looked cold, and the emperor didn't want to be bored.

"I kept you here to tell you that although I agree with you to marry Bai Su as a wife, after all, she is a criminal minister, and she cannot be a concubine, she can only be a concubine."

Hearing this, Chu Hengyu raised his head suddenly, staring at the Son of Heaven of the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of him.

"Your Majesty still thinks that General Bai collaborated with the enemy and treasoned back then?"

"The evidence is conclusive, even if I don't believe it, what's the use?"

The emperor really didn't know what to do with his younger brother.

"In that case, sooner or later, the younger brother will prove to His Majesty that your decision back then was wrong. The subordinate retired. ”

"Well, bring her into the palace another day, and I will see what kind of woman can hook my brother. Let's go down. ”

Chu Hengyu listened to the emperor's words and left without looking back, and the emperor couldn't help but sigh again when he looked at his back, his temper was still so strong.

The back garden of King Heng's Mansion.

Bai Su was playing hide and seek with the children at the moment, with a black cloth covering his eyes, covering his usually smart eyes, but he had another charm, a pair of jade hands groped by his side, and there was a smile on his face that could not be ignored.

When Chu Hengyu returned to the palace, he saw such a scene.

The two children ran around Bai Su's side, shouting happily, "Mother, come and catch me", laughing heartily.

Chu Hengyu walked over gently, gesturing to let the two children leave first, and when the two children saw Chu Hengyu, they quickly covered their mouths and ran away with a snicker.

Bai Su didn't know that he was "abandoned" by the two children, and he was still groping for it, and suddenly touched a corner of his clothes.

"Caught!"

Bai Su happily opened the black cloth covering his eyes, but found that Chu Hengyu was standing in front of him, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"How about you, kids?"

"I let them go back, I want to be alone with you for a while."

Chu Hengyu stared at Bai Su affectionately, and Bai Su felt that his face was even hotter.

"By the way, why did the Shang Dynasty go for so long today."

Hearing Bai Su ask, Chu Hengyu's face became a little gloomy, and Bai Su naturally saw it.

"What's the matter, is something really wrong?"

"Murong Zhi, that old fox, got the news out of nowhere, knowing that you and the children entered the capital, and told the matter in front of the civil and military officials, but don't worry, I said that you are my woman, and the two children are my blood, and the emperor has pardoned your mother and son, so you don't have to hide from now on."
